Robert Pinker, Social Theory and Social Policy (Heinemann, 1971) chap. 4.
See, for instance, Mike Reddin, Social Services for All? Part One, Fabian Tract 382 (1968).

Kincaid in Poverty and Equality in Britain (Penguin, 1973) points to the significant differences in the rights of appeal against decisions on insurance benefits and those taken by officials of the Supplementary Benefits Commission.
